"Hideous and oppressive aristocracy" that's almost as bad as your "stereotypes of perpetual judgement" bull. You had golden ages where people in the Nile got along beautifully you also had all out warfare. You also has external invasions, but how does any of that negate Pan-Africanism. Who did he speak highly of and why? or was he just examining un/sucessful revolution attempts?

You sound kinda ridiculous, how can you say he is brilliant and you enjoy his reading but then turn around and say anything Pan-African isn't logical. Everything he wrote was Pan-African. Start with the foundation, Northern Cradle and Southern Cradle, southern cradle represents all of Africa which he insisted in all his work is cultural unified. Even in Establishing that KMT was an African civilization he showed the influence from the interior (all Pan-African). I didn't say I was an expert anything but there are volumes and contemporaries who builds on the "illogical" stuff you never gave an example of. Lol.. I'm not going to son you, just take my advice re-read because you surely don't have a grasp from what you have displayed or better yet stick to your bible.
